I really don't intend for this to be a personal attack, so please don't take offense, but I think it's unusual to wear a fanny pack while calling other fashion "cringe".
- quantadev 2y agoThe difference is fanny packs have utility. Even Batman has a utility belt. I call my fanny pack my "Utility Belt" in fact. Batman didn't wear beads. lol.
- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoSo do many other bags. It feels weird to hear someone talk about the death of fashion, and in the same post, attack people's fashion. If you want to wear your beaded fanny pack with sandals, more power to you.
- quantadev 2y agoI think you're missing the main point of vanity versus utility, in my light-hearted semi-humorous post.
- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoThere's nothing wrong with the vanity of choosing a fanny pack over pockets or another bag these days. I support your fashion choice. Especially if you prefer your fashion to be functional. I do, too!
- quantadev 2y agoYou're correct that I care about utility, but incorrect that it's vanity/fashion.
- ImPostingOnHN 2y agoI think that we just think about fashion differently. Putting thought into what you wear for any reason, functional or otherwise, is fashion. Beyond that, you're choosing a suboptimal and uncommon item for "utility" (a fanny pack) where other, better options would suffice. Why? I can't answer that, maybe to make a statement. In any case, this choice is "fashion". Props to you for going out wearing what you like and not caring what other people think, be it flip flops or a fanny pack or a feather boa. Rock it!
- quantadev 2y agoYou're just playing word games. Fashion means what's popular/trending and `utility` means the exact opposite.
- ImPostingOnHN 2y ago> Fashion means what's popular/trending and `utility` means the exact opposite. Does it? Never heard that one before. I see a lot of people wearing fashion that isn't currently popular or trending, and a lot of utilitarian fashion (look up "techwear") I suppose I probably won't convince you otherwise, it seems very important to your belief system that utilitarian fashion choices not be considered fashion choices because otherwise it would mean you engage in fashion, a prospect you seem to find unpalatable.
- quantadev 2y agoI think Websters Dictionary can solve this for you, if you're still confused. You can compare both utility v.s. fashion and see who's right if you want. In the context we're using these words they're the exact opposite.
